tracheal deviation
Can open pneumothorax lead to tension pneumothorax?
Yes, an open pneumothorax has the potential to evolve into a tension pneumothorax if air continues to enter the pleural space but has no means of escaping, leading to increasing pressure in the chest cavity and subsequent compression of the lungs and heart. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent this progression.
